I will always remember Ed because he worked closely with Dennis Klat, the creator
of Dectalk. His work with Dennis provided valuable and unique insights into Dectalk
which Ed shared over the years. As other list members are aware, Ed created a Dectalk
version, 4.61. Rest in peace Ed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
My name is Stephen Bruckert.<br>
<br>
I am Ed Bruckert?s son. He was the lead engineer on <st1:PersonName w:st="on">DECtalk</st1:PersonName>
for<br>
nearly his<br>
entire working life.<br>
<br>
I see that he has been active in this community for some time, and as<br>
recently as December of 2016, so I wanted to let you all know that<br>
he passed<br>
early on January 29th, 2017, quickly and peacefully.<br>
<br>
He was very proud of his work and delighted by the impact it had on<br>
so many<br>
people, and the fun people had with it.<br>
<br>
That?s all. Thanks for your attention. <3<br>
<br>
- Stephen<br>
